Giants Bring Back TE Chris Manhertz on One-Year Deal Ahead of Free Agency

The veteran blocker reinforces John Harbaugh’s run-focused vision.

Overview

  • New York re-signed Chris Manhertz to a one-year contract just before the legal tampering period, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter citing agent Sean Stellato.
  • The Bronx native returns as a premier blocking tight end and veteran presence for his 12th NFL season and third year with the Giants.
  • He appeared in all 17 games last season with substantial offensive and special-teams snaps while serving a low-volume receiving role.
  • Pro Football Focus credited Manhertz with a 69.7 pass-blocking grade and a 69.9 run-blocking grade, with a career-best 72.7 overall mark in 2025.
  • Manhertz said returning “means the world” as he spoke about playing at home and praised Harbaugh’s energy and discipline.
